Nutella Hot Chocolate


Nutella is one of the mysteries of Chocolate connoisseurship. It’s primary ingredient is not chocolate but sugar. Its fat comes from vegetable oil and nuts, not cacao. Still, Nutella’s blend of flavors is mysteriously perfect, and the Italian hazelnut-chocolate spread is universally beloved. And as easily as it can be spread on a piece of toast, it can be stirred into a cup of hot milk.

Quick Nutella Hot Chocolate:

Heat one cup of milk in a small pot over medium-low heat until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in three tablespoons of Nutella. Pour into a mug, dust with cocoa powder, and drink. Serves one.

Nutella is indeed mysteriously SOMETHING, but perfect is not the word that comes to mind. I guess I can’t fault a self-described chocolate lover too much for liking this junk. I, after all, adore candy corn. But I’m amazed at how many people think Nutella tastes good and also assume that I love it, too. It’s the WORST!
